THE PREDICTION
Toulouse had their big lead at the top of the Top 14 table slashed to just three points after losing their first game of the season 25-16 away at fortress Lyon. They are likely to bounce straight back with little panic, especially as so few of their rivals are currently looking like significant threats to ending their reign as champions just yet. Bordeaux could be top of the league at tea time but a home tie against Castres in the late game is likely to see fireworks as Toulouse respond in earnest. Castres are unbeaten at home after a comfortable enough 38-20 win against Biarritz there last Saturday but they have lost back-to-back matches on the road by 14 and 19 points. Split that difference and back Toulouse to cover -16 en route to a nerve-settling win in front of their fans on Saturday night.
